This past week, the Los Angeles Rams made the decision to move on from former Pro Bowl defensive end Robert Quinn by shipping to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a pair of picks in the 2018 NFL Draft. Leading up to that transaction there had been plenty of ongoing discussions that the team was leaning toward parting ways.

There had been chatter that Quinn had been mentioned as a possible part of the trade that the Rams had acquired All-Pro cornerback Marcus Peters from the Kansas City Chiefs. According to Jenna Laine of ESPN, this list of suitors for the 27-year-old that included the Tampa Buccaneers and Cleveland Browns being in the mix.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who had just 22 sacks in 2017, did, in fact, try to trade for Los Angeles Rams pass-rusher Robert Quinn. So did the Cleveland Browns, before the Miami Dolphins landed him, multiple sources told ESPN.

The Bucs could have been a prime landing spot for Quinn given their large amount of salary cap space this NFL offseason with nearly $73 million that would have allowed them to easily absorb the $12.4 million cap hit that the eighth-year veteran carries for the 2018 campaign. His potential pairing alongside Pro Bowl defensive tackle Gerald McCoy helping give them a more formidable pass rush. Tampa Bay also possesses eight selections in this year's draft that could have allowed them to present an intriguing offer.

Meanwhile, the Browns had the most to offer with 12 draft picks at their disposal this year including five selections coming in the first two rounds. They also hold more than most salary cap space this offseason with more than $100 million. Cleveland has a strong need to address their pass rush situation finishing 21st last season with just 34 total sacks.

That said, the Dolphins provided the best offer on the table by sending a fourth, and sixth-round draft picks in this year's draft to the Rams. Quinn has plenty to offer for Miami as a productive edge rusher coming off a productive season where he had 8.5 sacks, which marked his highest total since 2014.
